Syracuse, NY - Skaneateles car dealer Pat Bombard today had some additional charges added to the fraud case currently set for trial in April.

Defense lawyer Robert Durr said Bombard was arraigned before County Judge Anthony Aloi on charges of second-degree grand larceny and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing.

Durr said they stem from the same land transaction with elderly neighbor Irma Jerva for which Bombard already is facing a second-degree grand larceny charge.

The prosecution contends Bombard stole more than $50,000 from Jerva in an alleged land-deal scam in December 2008. Durr said the new charges added today relate to the alleged filing of mortgage papers in the same incident.

Bombard, 54, of 39 Heritage Woods, Skaneateles, is scheduled to stand trial April 18 in connection with the alleged land-deal scam plus some additional charges accusing him of stealing from customers of his Chevrolet dealership by taking loan money that was supposed to be used to pay off other vehicles.

Bombard is facing identity theft, scheme to defraud and third-degree grand larceny charges in connection with those allegations.

Durr said he expects Assistant District Attorney Beth Van Doren will more to consolidate the new charges with the pending case to try everything together April 18 if a resolution cannot be worked out before then.

Aloi released Bombard on his own recognizance on the new charges after arraigning him on the sealed indictment today, Durr said.
